Chris,

How often should fork oil be changed?

Yearly? After a certain number of miles?

Pete ;)

After 4 years and 20,000 odd miles, the oil in my SV, in one fork in particular, was fckd

Safe to say that's a good place to start on mine then... ach well, looks like I know what the first few days of my redundancy will be spent doing!

10k if you've got a bike that's worth keeping handling well

to be fair, after recently doing mine (yc showed us how it was done on the sv previously) it was worth it on the sv with standard forks, but oh my god its transformed the bike with adjustable forks!

Its like having the bike i wanted a year ago! So much more predictable i havnt changed any settings appart from the fork oil (and dropping the forks 2mm, would that make a diff? originals were 4mm above yokes and i corrected to 6mm which is standard.) I dont want to touch things now because its so much better. Cant wait for dry roads!

Only thing is what to do with the rear?
